Lighting for Green/Blue Screen - 10-23-2011, 05:30 AM


I know that with the lighting for blue and green screen you should have 2 lights for the background and maybe a little underexposed to the subject. I have 2 Einstein lights and a good alien bee light. Which is the best modifier for getting even lighting on the backdrops


Thanks

I'm not sure of the modifier because the trick is to have the light as evenly spread across the green screen as possible, no light or dark areas. That leads me to a softbox maybe. It may depend on where you can place your lights.
